FlexTech Program
Program Summary:
Increase productivity and economic competitiveness by
identifying and encouraging implementation of cost-effective
energy efficiency measures
Designed for entities interested in:
• Energy efficiency technical evaluations
• Peak-load reduction studies
• Energy procurement analysis
• Implementing combined heat & power (CHP) and
renewable generation, and peak load curtailment plans
Small Commercial Energy Assessment
•
Provides FREE energy assessments to small businesses and
not-for-profit facilities
•
Available to facilities with an average electric demand of
100 kW or less
•
Help make informed electrical energy decisions and
implement energy-efficiency strategies
•
Audits help identify economically viable improvements that
yield substantial annual energy savings
New Construction Program
Provides incentives and technical assistance for energy efficient
new construction or major renovations of existing structures
“gut rehabs”.
The program offers the following:
• Technical assistance to evaluate and design energy-efficient
buildings
• Cash back for installation of cost-effective energy efficiency
measures in new or substantially renovated buildings
• Additional incentives for commissioning services and green
buildings may also be available
Existing Facilities Program
Pre-Qualified Path – “Install then apply”
Encourages applicants to purchase and install more energy-efficient equipment for
small-sized energy projects and equipment replacement projects. Incentives are
available on a $/unit basis for pre-qualified energy efficiency measures.
Small, Simple Equipment Changeouts –

Large, Custom Improvements - Up to $5 Million
Custom incentives for larger-scale electric, natural gas, energy storage,
combined heat and power, demand response and other projects
Be confident about your return on investment through verified savings
supported by engineering calculations
Maximum incentives of up to $5 million for manufacturers and data
centers and $2 million for all other sectors
Minimum incentives of $30,000
Submit your application either before or within 90 days of contracting
for the project
Industrial and Process Efficiency Program
•
Provides performance-based incentives to manufacturers
and data centers implementing energy efficiency and
process improvements
•
Goal is to increase product output and improve data
processing efficiency
•
Incentives are calculated based on a reduction in energy
usage per unit of production or workload
